New engine rebuild question

[akwilks]

My engine was built with 8:1 TRW pistons....what effect, if any would this have on the performance of the motor? Just curious

Re: New engine rebuild question

lower compression = lower power levels...however, lower compression = you can run higher boost levels. Higher boost = more power. Bascially, 8:1 is low, but you can run high boost.

To answer your question, your fine and happy boosting!

Oh, and the TRW pistons are fine. way better than stock if that is what you are asking.

Even with the TRW's and stock heads your compression should be around 8.3 to 8.5:1 which is nearly the same as the stock engine.

This will work just fine, and you can run more BOOST!!!
